1. Evolution of the NFL Draft

The hosts kick off the conversation by highlighting how the NFL Draft has transformed from a relatively subdued event into a massive spectacle akin to major entertainment happenings.

Rich Davis remarks at [05:24]:
"The NFL draft has come maybe the longest way other than WWE wrestling. I can't think of something that has evolved so much in our lifetime."

Danny G adds at [05:26]:
"Early UFC was, you know, one of the Gracie brothers... Now the President's coming down the aisle, right? It's evolution, baby."

This comparison underscores the dramatic increase in media attention, fan engagement, and overall significance of the draft in contemporary sports culture.

2. New York Giants' Quarterback Conundrum

A significant portion of the discussion revolves around the New York Giants' strategic considerations in their QB selections, particularly the potential interest in Shador Sanders.

Rich Davis poses at [04:00]:
"The big draft, not the one last night. Congrats, by the way, to Paige Beckers, your number one pick. She playing for the Dallas. What do you know about the WNBA team in Dallas, the Wings."

Transitioning into the QB topic, Rich draws parallels between historical draft scenarios and the current Giants' situation, highlighting the team's dilemma in securing a long-term QB solution.

Danny G comments at [07:13]:
"I think they're just doing it for what? You're going to sleep with Russ in the meantime."

The hosts delve into the implications of the Giants potentially drafting Shador Sanders, discussing whether this move is a genuine strategic decision or a temporary fix to maintain the team's competitiveness while exploring other options.

Steve Covino expresses skepticism at [14:51]:
"I say in the end, they actually trade down."

This reflects concerns that the Giants might not have a clear QB path and could resort to trading strategies to navigate their choices.

---

3. Minnesota Vikings and Aaron Rodgers' Decision

Shifting focus to the Minnesota Vikings, the hosts analyze Aaron Rodgers' impending decision to either commit to the Steelers or remain with Minnesota. The conversation touches on the Vikings' interest in Justin Herbert and the broader implications for team dynamics.

Danny G observes at [19:38]:
"Are the Vikings out? Well, here's the interesting part..."

Rich Davis speculates at [20:16]:
"If the Vikings were out, I think we'd have a clear answer already on the Steelers."

The interplay between Rodgers' potential mentorship of JJ McCarthy and the Vikings' strategic considerations are examined, with comments on the distraction and expectations Rodgers brings to any team he joins.

Steve Covino adds at [20:26]:
"The rumors are that's why the Vikings have been dragging their feet, is because the pitch from Rodgers..."

This segment provides a nuanced look at how veteran QBs like Rodgers can influence team strategies and the development of emerging talents like McCarthy.

---

4. Shador Sanders: A Potential Game-Changer?

The discussion circles back to Shador Sanders, debating whether he possesses the qualities to justify a high draft pick and become a foundational player for the Giants.

Rich Davis muses at [17:48]:
"I look at it and listen. We've talked about nepotism and listen in sports and entertainment you still need to deliver..."

Danny G counters at [19:23]:
"So I think they're just doing it for what?"

The hosts weigh Sanders' current performance metrics against the team's needs, debating his readiness and potential for growth within a high-pressure market like New York.

Steve Covino offers skepticism at [33:43]:
"The reason why a lot of people are raising their eyebrows to this Covino is because it is a week and a couple of days until the draft..."

This highlights the uncertainty surrounding Sanders' draft prospects and whether external factors like his family's legacy are influencing team decisions more than his on-field performance.

---

5. Nostalgic References and Host Banter

Intertwined with the technical discussions are nostalgic nods to classic TV shows like Columbo, used as metaphors for the investigative nature of draft analyses.

Rich Davis reminisces at [07:23]:
"I remember when John Elway is like, yo, Colts, if you pick me, I'm gonna go play for the Yankees."

Danny G jokes at [08:13]:
"You're more of a Frank Drebin kind of guy."

These light-hearted moments serve to humanize the hosts and provide a relatable context for listeners familiar with these cultural touchstones.

---

6. Final Thoughts and Speculations

As the hour progresses, the hosts synthesize their discussions by speculating on the possible outcomes of the upcoming draft and its impact on the teams involved.

Danny G concludes at [32:56]:
"But their coach and GM need to win right now."

Rich Davis wraps up at [34:38]:
"But I don't want to jinx Shador Sanders because I wish him well..."

Their candid analysis offers listeners a blend of strategic insight and personal opinion, emphasizing the unpredictable nature of the NFL Draft.

We're on Monday through Friday five to seven on the east normally. But always a pleasure to be in here for dp. Now we will give away some prizes as well. Just stick around for that playing trivia later on. But we got to talk a little NFL football.

[Rich Davis]

Oh, yeah, the big draft, not the, not the one last night. Congrats, by the way, to Paige Beckers, your number one pick. She playing for the Dallas. What do you know the WNBA team in Dallas, the Wings. There you go.

[Danny G]

I was like dallas, Danny G. Loves wings.

[Rich Davis]

Oh, it's not like wings. Like, it's not like chicken wings.

[Danny G]

Cody Bellinger, not so much.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, exactly. Honey barbecue is the best.

[Rich Davis]

What's happening? What's your favorite way Lemon pepper. You like the Asian zing, Kavino?

[Danny G]

I do. I absolutely do.

[Rich Davis]

Why?

[Danny G]

Who doesn't? So, yeah, let's talk about it.

[Rich Davis]

Congrats to Paige Beckers. But that's not the draft. We're talking about next Thursday, the NFL draft. A big night. What used to be a bunch of old white dudes in a conference room with tan and brown phones. Who you picking? I'm not telling you. You ever see the from, what is it, Marine? Why am I drawing a blank? I'm losing my mind. From Marino to Elway. Oh, no. From Elway to Marino. That 30 for 30 about that draft, the one where John Elway is like, yo, Colts, if you pick me, I'm gonna go play for the Yankees. That draft and that documentary, that 30 for 30 remind you that if you grew up in the 80s, in our lifetime, it was a bunch of guys smoking cigarettes in a conference room with 1980s wooden walls.

[Danny G]

Yeah. It wasn't this big spectacle that we know today.

[Rich Davis]

It wasn't 100,000 people on the streets of a city celebrating their team's pick.

[Danny G]

An ocean of people in Detroit. That's my visual now with all these special graphics and everything. No, not at all.

[Rich Davis]

Is that fair to say? Danny G and Sam, you know, we're all around the same age. Sam's younger. But in our lifetime, what's evolved the most might be the draft or.

[Danny G]

Or WWE events. You know what, Think of like a WrestleMania or just think of how old school and in late 70s 80s wrestling.

[Rich Davis]

Until the Hulkamania was running wild and Macho man and Andre the Giant before that, it was a bunch of just guys who would grapple. No theme music, no fireworks. So you're right, wwe, it'll be like.

[Danny G]

Some hairy guy with a singlet, you know, Georgie Animal Steel eating a turnbuckle.

[Rich Davis]

And Bruno San Martino barely speaking English.

[Danny G]

In some local city. Bruno Sabatino. Oh, my God, look how. Look how massive this event is.

[Rich Davis]

So, yeah, look at a wrestling event from 1980. Something compared to now. The only thing that might be scaled up more is the NFL draft.

[Danny G]

It really is. And by the way, you mentioned something that's so understated. The fact that Elway took a stand and was penciled in into the Yankees lineup, already playing right field in the same lineup with Don Mattingly if he didn't get drafted. I think a lot of people forget about that. And it is brought up in that documentary. Imagine John Elway as a baseball player, as a Yankee. So weird.

[Rich Davis]

Or Tom Brady on the Expos. But anyway, my point is, the NFL draft has come maybe the longest way other than WWE wrestling. I can't think of something that has evolved so much in our lifetime. Maybe ufc, where it went from one of your buddies might be like, yo, do you like extreme fighting? And now ufc.

[Danny G]

Early UFC was, you know, one of the Gracie brothers.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah.

[Danny G]

Now fighting a sumo dude.

[Rich Davis]

Now the President's coming down the aisle, right?

[Danny G]

Yeah. I mean, it's evolution, baby.

[Rich Davis]

So I would say WWE wrestling, UFC and the NFL draft, what has evolved the most in our lifetime? And hey, next week, Green Bay going to be hosting, you know, a spectacle. Every team has special guests come in to make their picks.

[Danny G]

Yeah, it's an event now. It wasn't, you know, as much of an event back then.

[Rich Davis]

Roger Goodell going to be booed. But then everyone's going to do their best. Bro hug, hold up their jersey. Now, here's the big question. What's going to happen between now and next Thursday? Because I want to play detective. Remember when your dad would watch Columbo? My dad would watch Columbo. Hey, one more thing. Peter Falk with his lazy eye and a cigar. I used to love that. I used to love that show.

[Danny G]

I've known you for 20 years. Never heard you talk about Columbo once.

[Rich Davis]

You don't know my love of Peter Falk.

[Danny G]

Not once. In fact, I've known him longer than that.

[Rich Davis]

We met each other in our.

[Danny G]

I've heard you talk about Kojak more than I've heard you talk about Columba.

[Rich Davis]

We've known each other since our early 20s. I've known you 20 years. How do you not know of my love of Peter Falk?

[Danny G]

You're more of a Frank Drebin kind of guy.

[Rich Davis]

His narration of Princess Bride is fantastic. Never.

[Danny G]

First time I've ever. He had to have googled right before we got into this discussion. I guarantee you he googled who was Columbo.

[Steve Covino]

This is totally made up.

[Rich Davis]

I remember there was an episode.

[Danny G]

Every Rich Davis reference, under the moon. First time I've ever heard him bring it up.

[Rich Davis]

I remember there was an episode who killed Mrs. Colombo?

[Danny G]

And he.

[Rich Davis]

And he faked his wife's death. I. Please. I'm a Columbo super fan.

[Danny G]

I'll take your word for it.

[Rich Davis]

I'm going to play Colombo right now.

[Danny G]

Sure.

[Rich Davis]

And we're going to try to figure out what's happening between now and next Thursday. And we start. I won't do a Peter Falk the whole time. I promise. We'll start with Shadow Sanders between now and next Thursday. They announced yesterday that this is like.

[Steve Covino]

That book that LeBron read. Allegedly.

[Rich Davis]

Well, LeBron only reads page one of books, right? Is that the thing? Yeah.

[Steve Covino]

I don't think Rich has ever seen Colombo.

[Rich Davis]

So between now and next Thursday, Shador Sanders. Yesterday they announced that he's doing a private workout with the Giants. Now, you got to ask yourself why.

[Danny G]

Because that was the rumor from the beginning. And where there's smoke, there's fire. Look, one thing I. I can't say I hate, but aggravates me about sports talk radio or just people in general, are the I told you so people. I told you I'M the one that told you.

[Steve Covino]

I've been telling you for months.

[Rich Davis]

I've been telling you for months.

[Greg Rosenthal]

Forever.

[Danny G]

Go back to the tape I was telling. I'm the one. I invented it. I said it.

[Rich Davis]

But I hate those people.

[Danny G]

I said it here on the show. There was so many rumors. And look, look, on TV right now, they're talking about it. Stewart, Sanders, the Giants. There was a lot of substance there. And people like, well, how do you know? Like, well, where there's smoke, there's fire. There's a lot of interest. There's no secret there. And I said, I know personally of someone in the camp that's telling me it's on. Like John Papelbon eating flan with Bishop.

[Rich Davis]

Don Magic Wan with Michelle Kwan.

[Danny G]

With Michelle Kwan watching the Wrath of Khan.

[Rich Davis]

So you don't know anybody.

[Steve Covino]

Lakers in five.

[Rich Davis]

Who told you?

[Danny G]

You're Barber, and that's what Rich said. And I'm like, look, I know, but I got Scoops.

[Rich Davis]

Who do you know? The guy at the salad shop down the block who's talking to you? Scoops? Callahan, the guy at 24 Hour Fitness.

[Danny G]

Now, I'm never the guy to say I know for fact. And I'm like, dude, I know because it was already a rumor. But I'm like, no, look, I know that they're still interested. They're still interested even though they got Russell Wilson now they're still interested and they're still in the market for Sanders.

[Rich Davis]

And I, you know, listen.

[Danny G]

Because that's when the conversation changed. Well, man, they got Russell Wilson. I guess they're out on the market for that. Like. No, no, no, hang tight. I think they're still in. And this just proves that I was right. And again, where there's smoke, there's fire.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah. Covino has very few sources.

[Danny G]

Very few.

[Rich Davis]

I mean, I'm a fan, man. We're fans. We're not like Colin Cowherd who's talking to GMs in his spare time. But Cavino, I'll back him up. I can't say who it is, but Cavino knows someone that would actually have, like, an odd insight.

[Danny G]

Yes. And on the meetings and, and, and confirmed. And confirmed that. Yeah, no, no, it's still on. There's no guarantees, but it's still on. So I said to you, the FOX Sports Radio Nation. Look, I know it's not official or anything, but it's still on. It's not over. They're still. They're not out of the Shador Sanders market yet.

[Rich Davis]

So when we Talk about the NFL draft next Thursday. Let's. Let's play a fun round of Colombo of detective.

[Danny G]

How about Sherlock Holmes?

[Rich Davis]

That's too old school. Colombo's too old school. You play Stabler. What are you going to do some law and order, play detective and go.

[Steve Covino]

Back to Magnum PI and you're right.

[Danny G]

We do need a new detective reference.

[Rich Davis]

Even Columbo is way dated, almost like a 70s, 80s.

[Danny G]

Yeah, you know, give me someone current.

[Rich Davis]

It's like when. So it's like when someone references a good looking person. Like, all right, Brad Pitt. Brad Pitt's like 60.

[Danny G]

I mean, he's still good looking.

[Rich Davis]

I mean, he's still handsome, but he's.

[Danny G]

Still more ripped than most.

[Rich Davis]

That's true. So what's going to happen between now and. And next Thursday? You tell me what you think. Because here's what I think is going to go down. I think somehow, some way in attempt to buy themselves some longevity in New York, GM and coach are thinking Sanders becomes a project. Russ is your quarterback. He. See, here's where I'm sort of sad.

[Danny G]

What the. Tommy DeVito, Tommy cutlets will be out of the picture.

[Rich Davis]

No, but I think Jameis Winston now finds himself like, what is he, the second string? But yet, you know, Sanders is in the wing. So if the Giants somehow have this meeting on Thursday, this little run through hang with Shador Sanders on Thursday and they come to the conclusion of it's good for the team, it's good for the city. They, they like his vibe. They like his what he brings to the table. Then you got to ask yourself, Jameis Winston, Russell Wilson, you have a quarterback room that's fill. And Tommy DeVito, your local mozzarell, your local Italian flair, Tommy Gauntlets, I. To me, your quarterback room is already filled. Unless you think Shador Sanders is the type that's cool to sit for a year or so. I mean, I know the rust deals short. Yeah.

[Danny G]

But maybe you don't want to throw a guy like him out there to fail out to the wolves. There's high expectations here. So maybe it's in his best interest to get some playing time. But to get acclimated at the same time, maybe he who he is and the expectations. So again, he's not starting. We know that. But to not have this meeting would be counterproductive for the Giants. You got to have this meeting, you got to have this workout. You got to keep that door open. And again, none of the other answers are solid answers. So it would be a year max. I don't Think Russell Wilson's the answer? He's not. He's a temporary fix. Winston's not the answer. Tommy Cutlet's not the answer. So there's total room for Shador Sanders to grow up and be that guy, at least by next year.

[Steve Covino]

The reason why a lot of people are raising their eyebrows to this Covino is because it is a week in a couple of days until the draft, and usually you've already done your. Your private workouts, your interviews. He's already had his pro day. So this. And who was it? It was Pete Frisco who was on with our early morning show, and he said this reeks of quarterback panic to him because Joe, Shane and company want to save their jobs.

[Danny G]

Panic or due diligence?

[Steve Covino]

Well, but due diligence was weeks ago. This is now. Can we save our job if we catch Jaden Daniels in a bottle type quarterback play for the next upcoming season?

[Danny G]

You know, you know what it's like. Hold on, Rich, you always give this analogy, so I got to give it because you're going to forget Russell Wilson is the temporary answer here. But he's not the one. You're not married to Russell Wilson. Right. So in a sense, don't you feel like the Giants are simply just going to the one first? Like, hey, we don't want you to be the one that got away. And they're going to Shador Sanders before we get in bed and sort of marry Russell Wilson for the next few years. Like, we want to make sure you're not interested.

[Rich Davis]

So you're saying Russ is who you'd sleep with in the meantime?

[Danny G]

Yes, Russ.

[Rich Davis]

Russ is the girl you'll sleep with because, you know, you're. You won't. You're not going to marry her. Right.

[Danny G]

But they're going to the one we want. Hey, you're the one we want to marry. So we want to talk to you first and let you know that, hey, you're the one we're going to marry you. This guy is just, you know, he's just there killing time with you, getting at it.

[Rich Davis]

You're getting it out of your system with Russia.

[Danny G]

Absolutely. You know, we say that all the time. All right, who do the Giants want to marry? Who's the one?

[Rich Davis]

Well, to bet to back up Danny G's point about, about also saving your job and buying time, Shane and Dable, which sounds like a law firm, are. Are trying to figure out how can we extend our stay as GM and coach of the Giants. And again, if you get a little Lightning in a bottle and some good vibes with Shador Sanders, Then you might attach yourself to a little more time in charge. We saw this last year before Joe Douglas got fired for the Jets. We're like, go after Devonte Adams. Shoot your shot. Take your Hail Mary, because you're going to get. You're likely going to lose your job, so you might as well go out trying. And remember when they went after Devonte Adams and like, what? Just go for it. They're going for it.

[Danny G]

And I think it's very similar to a relationship. Let's say you have a buddy who's just marrying someone they're not really that in love with. Wouldn't you advise your buddy to be like, hey, that girl you always liked, though? Why don't you just throw it out there before you walk down the aisle? Just throw it out there.

[Rich Davis]

I've told friends.

[Danny G]

Take your shot.

[Rich Davis]

I've told friends in a terribly, almost bad friend way, bro, if I were you, I'd go hang out with other girls just to see. Just to see.

[Danny G]

Listen, Shador Sanders, he has plenty of upswing. I mean, it's the Giants.

[Rich Davis]

Go around the room. Go around the room.

[Danny G]

Aside from that, though, he's got a starting gig in a year.

[Rich Davis]

Be aggressive, be aggressive. Be assertive. Right now, around the room, all four of us. Will Shador Sanders be drafted by the New York Giants in nine days? Danny gave.

[Steve Covino]

I say in the end, they actually trade down.

[Rich Davis]

So, no. No, I was. Sam, is Shador Sanders a giant?

[Steve Covino]

No.

[Rich Davis]

Covino.

[Danny G]

I'm going to say yes based on my inside source and knowledge of their true interest. And that's why they're taking this meeting, because he is the one. You wouldn't go out, like I said, if you were.

[Rich Davis]

Your source is the same person that did investigating in Billy Madison. As I would say, Sideburns. Ms. Lippy's car is green. Oh, thank you.

[Danny G]

Sideburns.

[Rich Davis]

Billy likes milk. Oh, that's who. That's who does Covino's investigating. So you're saying yes? I'm saying it's a really sexy story and it sounds fun, but I'm going to say no based on the fact that the quarterback room right now is so full, it's almost like a bunch.

[Danny G]

Of people that aren't the one.

[Rich Davis]

But it's like, I would love to, but, you know, we got Ross and James Winston and Tommy Cutlets making some gabagool in the corner. He's making some mana gut. To me, the room is too full. But Camino saying, like, oh, you make room for the hot chick in the room. You know, you. If the club is full and this hot girl's in line, you find a way to get some dudes out of the club to get those girls in. And you're saying Shador Sanders might be that hot girl for the Giants.

[Danny G]

So I think they're just doing it for what.

[Rich Davis]

All right, so let's shift gears now. Other NFL quarterback stuff before the draft. Aaron Rodgers, he has to commit or not to the Steelers in the next nine days, Right? Because right now they have Kyle Rudolph and that's it.

[Danny G]

Are the Vikings out?

[Rich Davis]

Well, here's. Here's the interesting part. You think the Vikings are out, but if the Vikings were out, I think we'd have a clear answer already on the Steelers. Here's my thought. The Vikings, according to Adam Schefter, the Vikings really like Drake May last year. Everyone thinks the Vikings. Okay, J.J. mcCarthy. Yeah, they like him. And clearly they like him, but he wasn't their first choice. And this according to Schefter, So what if there was this thought of. Well, McCarthy's coming off the injury. He's a young man. Aaron Rodgers, that team's more ready to win than, of course, the Steelers, according to a lot of people.

[Danny G]

So ready to win. And I say that respectfully, man. I got no hatred towards Aaron Rodgers, but when I hear anyone talk about him, I'm like, you really think this guy's the answer to anything?

[Rich Davis]

Yeah.

[Steve Covino]

Well, the rumors are that's why the Vikings have been dragging their feet, is because the pitch from Rogers, according to reports, was that, hey, let's get this. I have one season to give you where we can go far deep into the playoffs, make a run, and I will mentor McCarthy. He can sit behind me that one season.

[Rich Davis]

So as.

[Danny G]

That's great. No, but you're forgetting one major factor. The distraction and expectation that comes with this dude.

[Rich Davis]

Remember my favorite show in the 80s, Colombo?

[Danny G]

And by the way, hold on again. No, no. To tie it into relationships, there's things you put up with when she's really hot. Guess what? Aaron Rodgers, not that hot anymore. You want to put up with all the ancillary nonsense.

[Rich Davis]

So in the 80s, you know, as you've known me for 20 years, I love Columbo so much. So let's play detective.

[Danny G]

Never heard you talk about Colombo.

[Rich Davis]

Let's play detective one more time and get that last sip of cold brew.

[Danny G]

Thank you, man.

[Rich Davis]

I don't think it's rude.

[Danny G]

It's part of the morning.

[Rich Davis]

Feel some People think it's rude when you slurp the last sip of your drink. I don't go. Go for it.

[Danny G]

I do it for effect.

[Rich Davis]

Good. Let's.

[Danny G]

Hey, we're live. It's morning.

[Steve Covino]

Just hit your cough button.

[Rich Davis]

No, let's. Let's hear your disgusting slurp.

[Danny G]

No. No. So I don't want to ruin anyone's.

[Rich Davis]

Breakfast, so let's play detective. If Minnesota was a hundo percento sold on JJ McCarthy and there's no chance of anyone else, why is quarterback two Brett Rippon just sort of standing by? They've given no effort to go after a true solid veteran backup or someone to mentor or someone to be with, JJ McCarthy because they're leaving that window slightly open. You watch the mitt. I'll know this is true, that if the minute Aaron Rodgers signs with the Steelers, you see the Vikings go out and get a veteran. For all you know, you bring back Kirk Cousins for a year, you know, I'm saying there's. You're going to see the Vikings make a move if he signs with the Steelers and that'll prove that they were holding out some type of hope or possibility.

[Danny G]

He has to make a decision soon, man.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, I mean, it's. It would be rude if he doesn't. Right.

[Danny G]

So how will the dominoes fall? Here is basically what it comes down to. The quarterback situation. Your thoughts on Sanders. We gave you ours. Aaron Rodgers, man, I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up just not even playing. Dude. I would not be surprised.

[Rich Davis]

Hold on, wait a minute.

[Danny G]

Oh, you got breaking news.

[Rich Davis]

Not breaking news, but our buddy Matt in Minnesota.

[Danny G]

Yeah.

[Rich Davis]

Who has as many inside sources as you do. I mean, can I say that I have a little.

[Danny G]

Okay, okay, maybe I would say, but.

[Rich Davis]

He'S a, he's a die hard ticket holder. He's a big Vikings. Yeah. He said there's a lot of local rumors in the Minnesota market that the Vikings are putting out the idea of a trade for Justin Herbert.

[Steve Covino]

Oh, that was weeks ago on vikings.

[Rich Davis]

Podcast, sending McCarthy to play with Harbaugh, you know, his old coach at Michigan. But there's, there's a lot of that local banter in Minnesota as to like maybe they're trying to pull a little McCarthy and some picks for Herbert.

[Steve Covino]

He would get roasted. Harbaugh would if he traded Herbert away.

[Rich Davis]

From the Chargers to get his boy that he won a national chip with.

[Steve Covino]

It doesn't matter, man. Herbert is held in such high regard.

[Rich Davis]

But you know what, Herbert, what do you have, like 18 interceptions? One game in the playoffs last year.

[Steve Covino]

I'm not, I'm not arguing with you on that. But can you imagine?

[Danny G]

I'm with you, Danny G, 100%. I'm like, Herbert, get out of here. He's not going anywhere. But then again, I never thought Luca would be a Laker.

[Rich Davis]

You know, you never know.

[Danny G]

So you never know.

[Steve Covino]

Wouldn't that kind of be shocking, though, to move?

[Rich Davis]

Of course.

[Steve Covino]

I mean, he is absolutely considered, you know, easily a top 10 quarterback in.

[Rich Davis]

The league that pooped a bet in the playoffs last year.

[Steve Covino]

But you don't know what you have in McCarthy for the NFL. You don't know if that's gonna translate to the NFL is play in college.

[Rich Davis]

I know, but, hey, it's fun to speculate, right? Hey, nine days till the NFL draft. We'll get to more NFL. We got some NBA play in action going on today and a fun story about Rory McElroy that we'll get to next. I can't say his name.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, I know, but you almost got it that time.

[Rich Davis]

Rory McElroy.

[Danny G]

McElroy, you have to compartmentalize.

[Rich Davis]

We got more Camino and Rich next in for Dan Patrick.

[Nate Thompson]

[Rich Davis]

We'll have plenty of folks join us, current players, some of my former teammates, hall of Famers. And wait till you see some of the connections that Julie has. She has quite the Rolodex.

I'm vibing Julie. I'm ready to roll.

[Nate Thompson]

Listen to Energy Line with Nate and jsb on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Rich Davis]

On November 5, 2018 at 6:33am, a red Volkswagen Golf was found abandoned in a ditch out in Sleep Hole Valley. The driver's seat door was open. No traces of Footsteps leaving the vehicle. No belongings were found except for a cassette tape lodged in the player. On that tape were 10. Vile. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Grotesque. Oh, my God.

[Danny G]

Oh, my God.

[Rich Davis]

Horrific stories that to this day have been kept restricted. You feeling this too? A horror anthology podcast. Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Julie Stewart-Binks]

I'm Israel Gutierrez and I'm hosting a new podcast, Dub Dynasty, the story of how the Golden State warriors have dominated the NBA for over a decade.

[Rich Davis]

The Golden State warriors once again are NBA champions.

[Julie Stewart-Binks]

From the building of the core that included Klay Thompson and Draymond Green to one of the boldest coaching decisions in the history of the sport.

[Rich Davis]

I just felt like the biggest thing was to earn the trust of the players and let the players know that we were here to try to help them take the next step, not tear anything down.

[Julie Stewart-Binks]

Today, the warriors dynasty remains alive in large part because of a scrawny 6 foot 2 hooper who everyone seems to.

[Rich Davis]

Love for what Steph has done for the game.

[Danny G]

He's certainly on that, like Mount Rushmore.

[Rich Davis]

For guys that have changed it.

[Julie Stewart-Binks]

Come revisit this magical warriors ride. This is Dub Dynasty.

[Rich Davis]

The Dubs dynasty is still very much alive.

[Julie Stewart-Binks]

Listen to Dub Dynasty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Danny G]

We're Covino and Rich in for Dan Patrick, day two of the Dan Patrick hat trick. Hope the kiddos are enjoying spring break. Our kids are home right now sleeping. We're here having fun with you. Now, next hour, about an hour from now, we do some whack Diesel Shack Diesel trivia. It's multiple choice. It's your chance to take home a prize, be a winner, become a legend. But you can win a Swiggy, the stainless steel water bottle that everybody's talking about.

[Rich Davis]

Everyone is.

[Danny G]

And if you want to get involved, 87799 on Fox. And a quick reminder, we have a bonus pod if you dig our show or if you just want to see our stupid faces. We do a show on fox Sports Radio's YouTube page called Over Promised. You could also just listen and stream wherever you stream your podcast. Search Covino and Rich over promise number 87 with Coach Ball Game, who was a great listen, but we have lots of things going on. We appreciate you being here. And dude, I was just walking through the hallways talking to Big Mike who runs this place, who saying what's up to Vito, just, you know, doing the power strut. I think everybody should do that once in a while at the workplace. Just walk around with your strut like.

[Rich Davis]

You walking like Conor McGregor or Vince McMahon.

[Danny G]

No, I was doing by the way two of the best great, great, great struts. Oh, Rick Flair.

[Rich Davis]

You were walking like Ric Flair. Yeah. Woo.

[Danny G]

Just pointing to people getting the day going. Thinking about it. Giants get third pick. It might be Shadora Sanders. Why not? Do you honestly think he's move in ready? Is he move in ready or does he need some work? He needs some time and I think that he could play for a high profile market. He's a high profile guy. Giants might be a good fit but just not ready right now and they don't have their answer. I think it's a perfect match. None of their quarterbacks are the answer. He could be the answer. He's not ready. He could still learn from a Super bowl champion and James Winston and he's probably better than Tommy Cutlets. But no knock on him either. But I think he'd be a good fit for New York. His personality is a good fit for New York and he's just not ready to start right now. I think it could be something that may appear like Danny G said desperate on the Giants part. Like last move, sort of desperation move. But do you hear what you just said?

[Steve Covino]

What you just said out loud though was he may not be moving ready. You're going to spend a third pick overall.

[Danny G]

Yeah, third picks on your future though.

[Rich Davis]

The third pick though is reserved for like yo game changing, player changing.

[Steve Covino]

Sudden impact.

[Danny G]

Yeah, sudden impact again. Sudden impact. But it's a year out. You think that the Giants are winning anything this year? You're big dreaming.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, but third pick.

[Steve Covino]

But their coach and GM need to win right now.

[Rich Davis]

It's not late round. First round. McGill table Dave all in the Shane.

[Danny G]

Shane Dabel and McGill law firm.

[Rich Davis]

I, I look at it and listen. We've talked about nepotism and listen in sports and entertainment you still need to deliver. You can't just be the kid of someone and it work out. You seem like you still need to deliver the talent. Whether you're a singer or an athlete. It helps maybe move you along. And I think this is a great example of a kid with immense talent. But if he wasn't Deion Sanders kid, he'd play in the NFL. But he would not be considered the number three potential pick. He just it's not there. You wouldn't have been watching him as closely. The microscope wouldn't have been on Colorado.

[Danny G]

Okay, so then are the Giants Just wasting their time bringing them in for a meeting. Why do you think they're bringing him in?

[Steve Covino]

Because they're on the fence with him.

[Danny G]

I think potential and star power matters. They know he's not ready this year.

[Rich Davis]

Well, Dan for next year, Danny G. Last week we talked about how a lot of GMs and teams were very torn on Shadar Sanders because there's very little to look at because most of his passes were short 5 to 10 yard dump offs.

[Steve Covino]

Had a horrible O line.

[Rich Davis]

He had an offensive line that was trash. So he was always sort of, you know.

[Steve Covino]

What did Orlovsky, or I hate that word, Rich Orlovsky say do that as a law firm? He said he's very hard to judge as far as what he can do at the next level because we just don't know. He said he had elite field vision, but other than that, just don't know enough about him as far as his game translating to the NFL level.

[Danny G]

One of the hardest quarterbacks to evaluate ever. Ever.

[Rich Davis]

Well, I don't, I don't want to jinx Shador Sanders because I wish him well, but the last time a quarterback was chosen at number three with very little to go on except talent. His name was Trey Lance and he was selected by the 49ers based on his athletic.

[Steve Covino]

Don't you dare put that on Shador.

[Rich Davis]

And I'm just saying that was a very similar, like. Well, we don't really have a lot of tape on him and we don't really can't assess him. Hey, we'll see what happens. Your thoughts at Coveenon, Rich, as we film for DP. Now, before Kavino, we get to this Rory McElroy story that has to do with vacationing. I want to throw three headlines out there as I'm just scrolling through social media on my phone.

[Danny G]

Were you doing the bowl scroll this morning?

[Rich Davis]

I was not.

[Danny G]

Sometimes Rich does the bowl scroll in between breaks. I don't know how he does it.

[Rich Davis]

I don't know how you sit there for an hour, waste your time.

[Danny G]

I don't know, like how he can't just relax a little bit.

[Rich Davis]

I'm not a relaxing type of guy. I'm a hyped up fella. I mean, we could tell three things that stood out. I want to throw these at you guys if any of them catch your interest. Give me a little. Hey, give me a little Fonzie.

[Danny G]

Hey, let's do it. We're Cavino and Rich in for Dan Patrick live from Mercedes Benz Studios.

[Rich Davis]

Number one, even if you are the Vice President of the United States. Are you mortified if you drop the national championship trophy like JD Vance did? Did you see the video of this where he picks up the Ohio State University College championship trophy and the top falls off of it?

[Danny G]

One of your observations, Bezos or.

[Rich Davis]

No?

[Danny G]

No, because yeah, anytime you drop anything or you fall and it's viral and it's anywhere, I mean, of course it's all embarrassing.

[Rich Davis]

The Bezos thing isn't embarrassing because he tripped in the desert when his girlfriend just went on a space mission because he's a billionaire. So I think there's nothing that could embarrass that guy.

[Danny G]

I mean, anytime someone falls and face plants, it's. It's embarrassing. So I thought that was one of your observations. But yeah, I mean, you drop a championship trophy like a. Like a klutz. Yeah, it's embarrassing.

[Rich Davis]

Isn't there a part of you that feels like every time a player or coach holds any championship trophy, there's a part of them is like, don't drop this, don't drop this, don't drop this. JD stands for just dropped. Just dropped.

[Danny G]

But listen to. To J. To the VP's credit here, I don't.

[Rich Davis]

Think it was communicated to him enough that that thing was like a two parter.

[Danny G]

It wasn't like a whole unit stand.

[Rich Davis]

And then the actual trophy.

[Danny G]

And so like the guy in the.

[Rich Davis]

Tan suit who was kind of helping him hoist it up, he didn't say like, oh, this thing like comes apart into two pieces. So he tries to like hoist it up like it's Simba from the Lion King and the thing just falls into. Falls on the ground. Yeah, it's just not a good look. If I, If I'm.

[Danny G]

It's.

[Rich Davis]

It became meme. Ified instantly.

[Steve Covino]

Gif.

[Rich Davis]

Gifinated.

[Danny G]

And you know what? He is the vp. Give him the heads up. Give him the courtesy to not make that mistake.

[Rich Davis]

Or was it a setup?

[Danny G]

Yeah, exactly. Like, how do you not warn the guy?

[Rich Davis]

Was it some liberal guy that's like we're gonn make him look dumb? Who knows? All right, so that's number one. I thought that was funny.

[Danny G]

J.D.

[Rich Davis]

Vance dropping the trophy.

[Danny G]

Extremely embarrassing.

[Rich Davis]

Number two, this is a discouraging statistic. If you have a daughter around Covino's daughter's age.

[Danny G]

Oh, great. Let's hear it.

[Rich Davis]

What was the old stat? What was the old saying back in the day? If you were a kid of the 90s and 80s, what did every dad jokingly say? What do you got to do with your daughter.

[Danny G]

Keep her off the pole.

[Rich Davis]

Bingo. That was the whole joke. Like, you know, you know, you got to be a good dad. Keep her off the pole. Meaning you don't want your daughter to be a stripper.

[Danny G]

I know the new one. Am I right on target, is keep the chicken cheeks off the gram.

[Rich Davis]

No, that's only fans.

[Danny G]

No, listen, I was gonna say, if.

[Rich Davis]

My daughter grows up and ends up posting bikini pictures on Instagram, I'm fine with that. Because there's way different things that can happen.

[Danny G]

Yeah, that's. That's tame.

[Rich Davis]

Bikini pictures is normal standard for kids when they get older.

[Danny G]

It really is.

[Rich Davis]

Because I just saw a stat, and when you do the math, follow this line of thinking. There are roughly 11 million young women between the ages of 18 and 25 in the United States. Right? 11 million women, 18 to 25. Keep that number in your head. I'm gonna pull some math on you now.

[Danny G]

18 to 25.

[Rich Davis]

1.2 million women in that demo are creators on OnlyFans. Which means if you have a son who is a young college kid, there's a 1 in 10 chance his girlfriend's on OnlyFans.

[Danny G]

Wow.

[Rich Davis]

The math is simple. If there's 11 point. Whatever. I think it was like 11.8 million women between the ages of 18 and 25. And there's.

[Danny G]

By the way, are there only women on OnlyFans?

[Rich Davis]

No, there's dudes, too. I think there's a couple hundred thousand. They're thrusting. I don't know.

[Danny G]

Do they do magic tricks or anything? Anything other than, like, smutty behavior or is OnlyFans simply smutty content?

[Rich Davis]

They'll tell you it's other stuff, but let's. It's like people back in the day, like, remember there was big. In the 80s, it was like, all right, read Playboy for the articles.

[Danny G]

Like, no, I mean, because it was.

[Steve Covino]

There's like lifestyle and other people using the platform for a different way that's just not publicized.

[Danny G]

That's what it was meant for. I had never heard of anyone like, yeah, man, this guy, he has a great magic act. He's not only fans.

[Rich Davis]

No saying. Saying you go, you're on OnlyFans for like, fashion is. I get Playboy for the articles I've.

[Danny G]

Never heard of or seen anyone.

[Rich Davis]

So just a stat that by simply doing the math, 1 out of 10 women in your younger demo, 18 to 25. So if you got a son or a nephew or someone that's a college kid, he has a 1 in 10 chance of meeting A girl who's like, by the way, is it okay that I'm on of? It's crazy. So we're living in a world where everyone likes to show everything. All right, Third step, not so much a stat.

[Danny G]

Dwayne.

[Rich Davis]

Stats. I got one more fun one for you.

[Danny G]

Let's hear it. Stat Boy.

[Rich Davis]

One of the greatest shows of our childhood debuted on this day 35 years ago, on this day in 1990. And my hint is this, it was responsible for the birth of so many great comedic careers on this day 35 years ago. And a huge international global musician also made her debut on the show In Living Color. You can do what you want. Knew it.

[Steve Covino]

And you're talking JLo.

[Rich Davis]

In living color.

[Danny G]

She was a fly girl.

[Rich Davis]

In Living Color debuted on this day in 1990. So to think, if you remember watching that with your parents and being like, is it okay if I watch? Because you're a little kid 35 years ago. Get the hell out of here.

[Danny G]

So politically incorrect. But it was so funny. Such a great show.

[Rich Davis]

The Wayans brothers. Jim Carrey.

[Steve Covino]

Jim Carrey was so good.

[Danny G]

Shane Ivory and Damon and all the.

[Rich Davis]

Wayans and, you know, Wayans. Wayans the Way on the Weighons. So that show, being 35 years ago, is one of those, like, yo, I don't want to believe that. I hate the conversations of. Yeah, we're getting older. But that to me, 35 years ago, no clip. I used to like Fire Marshall Bill.

[Danny G]

No.

[Rich Davis]

Homie the Clown.

[Danny G]

No, I love all those.

[Rich Davis]

But the head detective.

[Danny G]

I love the head detective. That was great. No, Men on Film. Men on Sports. Men on Film. Yeah. No, When Jim Carrey was Vanilla Ice.

[Steve Covino]

That's so good.

[Danny G]

Oh, it's the best.

[Rich Davis]

Stop while I do my laces.

[Danny G]

Whatever he says.

[Rich Davis]

Oh, yeah, I know another one of your favorites. Yeah, you always joke about Jim Carrey doing Carcino.

[Danny G]

No, that was. That's Dana Carvey.

[Rich Davis]

Dana Carvey did Carcino. Yeah.

[Danny G]

Some classics, though, man. I used to love In Living Color for sure. And old school SNL. So, 30 years ago. 30 years ago, huh?

[Rich Davis]

No, 35.

[Danny G]

35 years ago. Well, there you go. Some interesting stats.

[Rich Davis]

When you were collecting your Ken Griffey Jr. Rookie cards and your Frank Thomases in 89.90. That's when we were just getting to know the likes of Jim Carrey and the Wayans brothers and that whole crew. So amazing. Pretty crazy.

[Danny G]

Became a legend. All right, now we got to talk. Rory McElroy.

[Rich Davis]

Let me try.

[Danny G]

Ready?

[Rich Davis]

Rory McElroy.

[Danny G]

Rory McElroy. We got to talk about him. And it involves vacation and conversations you can and can't have.

[Rich Davis]

On November 5, 2018 at 6:33am, a red Volkswagen Golf was found abandoned in a ditch out in Sleep Hole Valley. The driver's seat door door was open. No traces of footsteps leaving the vehicle. No belongings were found except for a cassette tape lodged in the player. On that tape were 10 vile. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Grotesque. Oh my God.

[Danny G]

O.

[Rich Davis]

That to this day have been kept restricted from the public until now. You feeling this too? A horror anthology podcast. Listen on the I heart radio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Danny G]

It's the Showground program. The world famous Covino and Rich. I made that up. You like that? Yeah, that's a ring to it. The world famous CNR in for Dan Patrick. Live from Mercedes Benz Studios. I'm Steve El hombre Masuapo Cavino.

[Rich Davis]

No one has called you that except your mom.

[Danny G]

The host that. The host that cries bloody tears. Dude, I started crying blood yesterday.

[Rich Davis]

What's up with that stigmata? Steve, over here.

[Danny G]

Saw that. I think I had a religious experience. Man, that was creepy. I know. The Mexican news yesterday, if you go.

[Rich Davis]

To our Instagram, Covino had like a sunspot near his eye and he went to the dermatologist to laser off the little sunspot.

[Danny G]

I've had it forever. By the way. So it wasn't some, like, weird decision. I'm like, I'm so sick of this. And for whatever reason, like, I think the, like, the scab fell off, but I started bleeding under my eye. And I think all the religious people are like, oh, my God, it's happening.

[Rich Davis]

Stigmata, Steve.

[Danny G]

Yeah, it was wild.

[Steve Covino]

It was weird because our video producer spot started praying to you.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, I know.

[Danny G]

It's the weirdest thing. I think I'm a saint now or something.

[Rich Davis]

I think that's how it works.

[Danny G]

Yeah. So if you want to see the video, it happened on our Patreon show. We have a Patreon, too. Monday through Thursday, just search Covino and Rich. Search Covino and Rich. On social media, you see our clips. You can see this video if you.

[Rich Davis]

Want to hear me unhinged.

[Danny G]

If you want to see in here, Rich out of control. Yeah, that's on our Patreon now. We are on Monday through Friday here on Fox Sports Radio.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, I could get that for free.

[Danny G]

Yeah. Five to seven on the east, two to four on the west, but always a pleasure to be here in for DP. Now, Rich, you're having trouble saying it, but Rory McElroy, Rory McElroy, he's a master now. He's got a green jacket. Well, it's show enough. Rory McElroy and shoulder McGavin. Man at arms. Yeah. Masters of the Universe. Masters. He has his green jacket. He's the man. And everybody's talking about him. He won $4.2 million. We talked about it yesterday, but Bryson DeChambeau was asked, what did you guys talk about? He's like, nah, man, he wouldn't talk to me. Yeah. On the final day, what were you guys talking about? No, no, no. He was in his zone. It's kind of like the way I took it. Look, I'm not a big golf guy yet, but I looked at it like, well, you don't mess with the guy who's got a no hitter going. You expect it. It's not necessarily like you're a jerk face.

[Rich Davis]

And the sense in the zone, and the sense was Rory is the guy. Rory's the type of guy that it's like, almost about time, right? It's been so long for him. It's like I saw someone referencing, like, when the star player finally gets over that hump. Like, remember when Steve Young finally got out of the shadow of Montana, when it was like, when is he finally going to win one? That's how everyone felt about Rory. He was focused and was almost a sense of don't blow. He's going to blow it. Oh my God, I think he is going to blow it. And then he wins. But that last day, he just didn't want to chit chat. And you could compare it to a few things. You ever get an Uber from the airport to your house and you have to make that decision right away? Like, yeah, am I going to chit chat with the Uber driver or am I going to throw my AirPods and be like, yeah, with all respect. Like, I just don't feel like interacting right now. Is it rude to even say that?

[Steve Covino]

No. Five star rating because you didn't speak to me.

[Danny G]

It's, it's how you say it. That's really what it is.

[Rich Davis]

It was funny. There's a dude I follow on social media. I think he has daughters that love posting funny clips about him. He's just like a funny dad and his daughters capitalize on it and it gets millions of views. And he was talking to his wife about vacation and is it rude or not to say this while on vacation? Take a listen.

[Danny G]

Someone has to tell me if this.

[Rich Davis]

Is rude when you're on vacation. I'm sure it is. Your mother on vacation wants to talk to everybody. He gives out the vibe, talk to me and tell me your entire life story. All I want to do is be left alone. Is it rude to say to a person, excuse me, but while on vacation I don't wish to be social?

[Danny G]

It's so rude.

[Rich Davis]

Comment in your comment in the comment section. You know, I love this guy because it's, it is interesting. He's telling us so.

[Danny G]

He says his wife loves to talk to everybody on vacation. He just wants to be left alone and enjoy zoning out, having a drink and not having to talk to anybody. That's the vacation for him. Peace. Peace and quiet. Is it rude to tell somebody that when they want to come up and talk to you about nonsense?

[Rich Davis]

Well, even if you say it politely, the question is, is it still rude? This guy's a great example. He said, can I on vacation tell another couple or another person? Because a lot of times you'll be having a cocktail at the Swim up bar, you'll be walking around the resort and people want to chit chat with you. And depending on your mood, he's saying, is it okay to say, yeah, I'm on vacation, I kindly don't want to be social?

[Danny G]

I mean, there's a lot of people we work with that try to talk to us at the wrong times and I kindly tell them, like, I'm in the zone, man. Or I'll even come afterward and be like, yo, man, sorry I was in my zone before. Like Mike, who runs this place. It happens all the time.

[Rich Davis]

You know what? We'll, we'll take your feedback. Next. Is it okay to pull a Rory More CNR in for DP next?
